Thanks Elizabeth. I really have to give the credit to my husband. He's the one who suggested that we might need to check on her. He loves dogs. She's lucky he took an interest in her. We passed at least three more dogs on our two hour drive home, walking down different roads. It's so sad that people don't take care of their animals. This poor sweet puppy deserves so much better.
